I imagine access to care is much harder in rural areas and small states. I'm lucky to live in a major metropolitan area, with dozens of choices of health systems, and probably hundreds of MD's, psychologists, etc. Of course, paying for it here is still an issue for so many people. I hope that ACA helps with that, I think mental health parity is part of it.

Yeah, we do keep hanging in there, don't we. I just came to realize, it's not weakness to not give in, it's strength, it's the harder path. It takes more courage to face life than to face death.

Thank you for your response, please feel free to PM me any time if I can help, or just listen.
